Settlement of Certain Litigation


On September 12, 2011, Vaughan Foods, Inc. issued a press release announcing that it reached an agreement in principle to settle the purported class action lawsuit, styled Kevin Wolters v Herbert Grimes et al (the “Action”), challenging the proposed merger of Vaughan and Reser’s Fine Foods, Inc. (the “Merger”). Effective as of September 9, 2011, the parties to the Action entered into a Memorandum of Agreement pursuant to which the Action would be settled in consideration for Vaughan having made certain additional disclosures relating to the Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 9, 2011, and the defendants’ agreement to pay plaintiff’s reasonable legal counsel’s fees and disbursements in an amount to be negotiated or, if no agreement can be reached, an amount determined by the United States District Court, Cleveland County, Oklahoma having jurisdiction over the Action (the “Court”). The settlement is subject to the parties agreeing on, executing and presenting to the Court within 60 days a formal Stipulation of Settlement that will dismiss the Action with prejudice against all the defendants.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
